Most patients start with Initial Intensive Care. The first thing most
new patients want is to feel better. So, in the beginning, visits are
usually frequent. Your chiropractic adjustments may be combined with
other procedures to help relieve your symptoms. Depending upon your
age, condition, and lifestyle, repeated visits over weeks or months may
be needed to reduce your symptoms.

A chiropractic lifestyle, combined with other healthy habits is part of wellness approach to health.

With your ache or pain reduced, the goal of Rehabilitative Care is for
more complete healing to occur. Underlying muscle and soft tissue
damage can remain, even after you feel better. At this stage, visit
frequency is often reduced.

You may be urged to supplement your care with exercises, dietary
changes, or other self-care procedures. Without complete healing,
discontinuing care now can set the stage for a relapse.

After the recovery of your original problem, regular chiropractic
“checkups” can help preserve your progress. Periodic visits can help
catch little problems before they become major concerns.
Wellness-minded adults and their children choose this type of care to
look and feel their best. Like other preventive measures, a
chiropractic lifestyle can save time and money by helping you stay well.

Which type of care fits your goals?

There are three types or stages of chiropractic care. Initial Intensive
Care is for pain or symptom management; Rehabilitative or Corrective
Care is for improved function and spinal changes; Wellness or Elective
Care is for non-symptomatic or preventative care measures. How long you
decide to benefit from chiropractic care is always up to you.

Your doctor will recommend a chiropractic care program that is based upon how you function and how you feel.

THE CHIROPRACTIC LIFESTYLE

Chiropractors are experts in the care of the bones, nerves, muscles and
connective tissues that make up about 60% of your body. All of the
joints in your body are part of this musculo-skeletal system and its
optimal function is necessary for overall good health. Ask your Doctor
of Chiropractic for more information about a care program that may
include specific spinal adjustments, exercise recommendations,
nutritional advice or other conservative methods of care based on your
health history, age, current condition and lifestyle.
